Magento UK, European and Rest of World csv delivery rates

By On November 22, 2010 In article With No Comments Permanent Link to Magento UK, European and Rest of World csv delivery ratesPermalink

This has cropped up a few times for existing clients so I’ve enlosed the csv file below for anyone who needs it.

Its a delivery rule for UK, European and Rest of the World customers based on their ‘shipping location’.

The first part denotes the whole world so this is where you would put your price rules for say USA/Canada Japan etc. The second part is the UK specific rules, which over ride the first rule and then finally I have the European countries, each listed by their 3 digit ISO code in alphabetical order.

This is tested and working on Magento 1.4.1.

Its specifically for the (free) Product Matrix from Webshopapps but can be modified for the default CSV table rate built into Magento.

Strange SVN error “The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable” in Windows 7

The most miraculous thing just happened to me. I started getting an unusual error when i was trying to do an svn commit of a big site im working on. It read “The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable”. After doing several fresh checkouts the error wouldn’t go away, and so i googled it with zero hope of finding a solution. The first result led me too this thread on serverfault.com posted by a guy who had the same problem. Not only had the problem been identified, but there was a hotfix available from microsoft which actually resolved the problem. From the perspective of a developer/computer user/member of the human race, I cannot stress how unusual this series of events is. Now my only problem is that i don’t know how to spend the next few hours, which i would have ordinarily spent slamming my head through the keyboard.

Innovation and Insanity

By On September 25, 2010 In quote With No Comments Permanent Link to Innovation and InsanityPermalink

Innovation is almost insane by definition: most people view any truly innovative idea as stupid, because if it was a good idea, somebody would have already done it. So, the innovator is guaranteed to have more natural initial detractors than followers.

Carry your keys on your other key. Real working key blank. Key blank can be cut by any key cutter to fit KW1 or SC1 keyways.

One of those “why hasn’t someone thought of this before?” objects. The greatest ideas are always the simplest.
